Grants are forms of financial aid, based on need, which you do not have to repay. Grants are generally given by state and federal government.

How do I apply for financial aid?

You need to complete the FAFSA and WSU Applications to apply for financial aid. Visit the Apply for Federal Aid page for details.

How do I apply for scholarships?

Paying for Classes

Once you have registered for classes, you are assessed tuition and fees based on the number of credits for which you have registered. Tuition must be paid on time to avoid a late fee. If you do not attend a class and do not officially drop the course, you are still responsible for the full tuition.
